  Q: What is the importance of frequent oil and filter changes for preventive maintenance on Ford Thunderbird?

  A: When it comes to preventive maintenance, the most important thing is regular oil changes since oil ages and gets contaminated over time causing premature engine wear. Gather all tools needed for an oil change. Lift the car to make it easier to reach the filter and plug. Next, start the engine, warm it up, and then park on a leveled ground. After raising the vehicle to a comfortable height, place a drain pan below the drain plug and then cautiously pull it out. In addition, you should check if there are any metallic particles in it before cleaning it properly and reinstalling it tightly. Afterwards, put your pan under the filter, and remove it after cleaning its surface, compare old vs new filters. Lubricate with fresh oil on the new filter seal put by hand and lower the vehicle down. Fill with fresh oil making sure that the level is correct before starting up again to check for any leaks finally rechecking the oil level upon completion of all activities stated above. Dispose of used motor oil properly anyway.
